A pycnometer is a glass apparatus used for accurately determining the density of a liquid. When dry and empty, a certain pycnometer had a mass of 27.056 g. When filled with distilled water at 25.0°C, it weighed 36.773 g. When filled with chloroform (a liquid once used as an anesthetic before its toxic properties were known), the apparatus weighed 41.451 g. At 25.0°C, the density of water is 0.99704 g/mL
